Review
'Ray does not lack champions... and one of the most tireless is Andrew Robinson, whose awesome slab of a book documents in pictures Ray's diverse life as an image maker.'- The Times '[Ray's] dizzying catalogue of achievement is knitted together by Robinson's expert text, presenting context and commentary that are informed by an obvious deep affection and feeling for Ray's cinema.' - The Times 'With its informed text by Ray expert Andrew Robinson and hundreds of stills taken by the director's on-set stills man Nemai Ghosh, this impressively presented volume will hopefully introduce this master filmmaker to a new generation of admirers.' - Film Review 'The layout of the collection is exemplary, as is the quality of the reproductions.' 'The visual riches of the volume are complemented by detailed captions' 'Robinson sums up the fundamentals of Ray's crowded career concisely and with great warmth; it is astonishing how much information and insight he has managed to pack into his contributions.' Literary Review '...vast and sumptuous...'Times Books Section,December 2005
Product Description
Satyajit Ray's work as a film director has ensured his position as one of the great creative geniuses of the twentieth century. His thirty or so films put India on the map of world cinema and led Akira Kurosawa to say of him: Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in the world without seeing the sun or the moon. Henri Cartier-Bresson felt the alertness and the profundity of this giant of cinema in all his majestic stature. Beginning with Pather Panchali, released fifty years ago this year, Ray won almost every major prize, including an Oscar for lifetime achievement. What makes him unparalleled in cinema is that he was personally responsible for all aspects of his films - from script to music. Satyajit Ray: A Vision of Cinema is therefore a rare kind of film book, which shows the mystery of movie creativity in unique close-up. Published as a lavish album, its hundreds of illustrations include drawings by Ray, ravishing film stills and haunting photographs by Nemai Ghosh, who accompanied Ray and observed his work for nearly twenty-five years.
